The land remembers. And Nana listening. In this episode, Melissa L. Jones sits down with Nana Kumi, a queer Black southern artist, filmmaker, herbalist, and land steward from Natchez, Mississippi — and project director of Spirit in Our Roots, an art-based land initiative uplifting Black growers and land stewards across Mississippi and Louisiana. Nana's work lives at the intersection of ancestral technology, plant medicine, and Black southern imagination, creating visual and spiritual landscapes that invite rest, memory, and radical dreaming. Nana takes us through a childhood in rural Natchez where imagination became survival, to a career in New York that Covid cracked wide open, to coming home to the land and the ancestors waiting there. She speaks to the memory held in soil, in water, in trees, and in the plants that guide her creative work in ways she is still learning to name. This one is medicine.
